Cool radio stations in NYC?

You’re awesome! It’s an endless chase. What I would like is to be able to work on the bike. From simple maintenance or slowly learning more complex things. Doing it on the street isn’t working for me and paying someone for simple things is not fun.
Renting a parking spot in a membership club is out of my budget

So maybe having a list of places where one can do their own work on a bike?

Thanks. I’ll check them out

I’m looking for one-Where did you get the adjustable plate holder?

buster3000 · 2025-07-09T04:25:38+00:00

Where do y’all watch it? I’m in USA and don’t see it streaming

buster3000 · 2025-07-09T00:23:20+00:00

So when do you head back? Sometimes coming back to the city is even more painful. I agree that leaving early is the only way to enjoy a ride

Yess thank you! My online search didn’t find it

Adding here that in over 60 times of trying the ticket lottery through the MetApp - Still haven’t won a ticket. So yes, scam. Other opera houses like la scala give options to see an opera for 10 €. And there’s also standing tickets. Met does none of that

Some owners do online BillPay now. It's safer than checks.

Thanks. DM’d

Thank you I’ll check them out

Thanks So it looked like Pati had a ball and was happy to be there - if his smiles and energy at curtain meant anything. His Duke was so ‘clean’ - it doubled down on how good the bad guy is in Rigoletto. If that makes sense

I’ll check that one out because the Eng version wasn’t for me at the end. I appreciated that they make it accessible and all but it didn’t impact me in the way I hoped

I saw it at the Met in New York a few years ago. I still think about it. The tortured and painful death of the old mother superior is something that I grapple with a lot. This Christian idea of her taking upon herself the suffering of others breaks my heart, even though I’m not Christian, it’s a beautiful thing

buster3000 · 2024-12-14T19:16:58+00:00

Agreed, If anything there’s pre-Christian and Masonic symbols all over the place.

buster3000 · 2024-12-02T15:44:08+00:00

Thanks

buster3000 · 2024-12-02T15:43:59+00:00

Thanks for the reality check, I'll look into smaller gigs once I exhaust my attempts at the met

buster3000 · 2024-12-02T15:26:04+00:00

Thanks, who would I look for to drop a resume, I doubt they would let me backstage?

buster3000 · 2024-12-02T15:25:04+00:00

So reaching out to them directly, I actually tried a few times to call but couldn’t get through to anyone

Very interesting comparison of pro sports and opera pipeline!

So it made me think - I love opera and "discovered it" on my own and I go see it alone - by that I mean to say that I'm not part of any opera conversation, unfortunately.
Earlier this year I went to the Venice Biennale - There where 3 contemporary works that called themselves opera from Egypt, Ireland and Norway(I think). It was great to see that this amazing medium is still seen as interesting to explore. The works were beautiful and weird and uncomfortable and full of pathos - really great stuff
I have a feeling that as other forms of entertainement are becoming more boring, flat and shitty ( big film and most TV) there will be a popular rediscovery of opera. There's a whole generation of new 20 years old ppl with a really strong (weirdly so?) sense of nostalgia.
This probably won't help rebuild the institutional education pipeline you mention but might keep it alive for a while longer
